100 MB limit. Max 1 minute duration. Best performance under 10 MB — larger GIFs may auto-pause or not loop smoothly.
100 MB
Facebook
8 MB for GIFs in feed posts. Desktop upload only — mobile app does not support GIF uploads natively.
8 MB
LinkedIn
Approximately 5 MB. GIFs play in feed posts. Limit is not officially documented — treat as approximate.
~5 MB
Telegram
Technically up to 2 GB (4 GB with Premium), but Telegram converts all GIFs to silent MPEG-4 internally. Recipients auto-download only if under ~10 MB — larger files require a manual tap to load.
Converts to MP4
WhatsApp
Accepts GIFs sent via gallery (up to ~16 MB) but converts them to MP4 on delivery. Videos under 6 seconds can be toggled to GIF inside the app.
Converts to MP4
Slack
File uploads up to 1 GB — GIFs animate in chat. Custom animated emoji have a hard limit of 128 KB.
1 GB
Instagram
Does not support .gif uploads. Only the first frame is displayed as a still image. Convert to MP4 (max 300 MB for feed/Reels, 100 MB for Stories) to share moving content.
Not supported
TikTok
GIF is technically listed as a supported format but is immediately converted to video on upload. Recommend converting to MP4 directly for best results.
Converts / avoid
Tip: For Instagram and TikTok, skip GIFs entirely — convert your video to MP4 directly. GIF Perfect's frame extraction mode can help you pull preview stills from your video for use as thumbnails.
Creator & subscription platforms
OnlyFans
GIF upload limit is 100 MB. Keep chunks under this threshold for reliable uploads.
100 MB
Fansly
General upload limit reported as 10 GB, but Fansly appears to convert GIFs to MP4 internally. No GIF-specific limit is publicly documented.
Unconfirmed
Patreon
GIF is an officially supported image format for posts. Direct post image uploads up to 5 GB. Attachments and profile images: 16 MB.
5 GB posts
ManyVids
GIF listed as a supported format for store item previews (alongside JPG and PNG). No file size limit publicly documented — treat as unconfirmed.
Unconfirmed
Tip: For platforms with large or unconfirmed limits (OnlyFans, Patreon), the practical constraint is subscriber bandwidth and feed load speed, not the upload cap. GIFs under 15–25 MB load quickly on mobile connections; larger GIFs may stall on slow networks.
